The boiling point of water becomes decreased because acetone is highly volatile liquid its molecules decrease the effect of hydrogen bonding in water molecules therefore water becomes evaporated easily.

What is the effect of a soluble and nonvolatile impurity on the boiling point of a liquid?

The presence of a non-volatile solute in a solution increases its boiling point. The amount of the elevation of the boiling point depends only on the number of molecules of solute present, and not on their identity. See the article entitled "Boiling-point elevation" on Wikipedia for the maths involved.

Why do acetone in an open bottle or container evaporates as gas?

Acetone is a volatile liquid, that is, it has a low boiling point. Even room temperature is sufficient to make acetone turn into vapour.


Why is the temp of boiling pure acetone constant?

Acetone has a constant boiling point because it is an azeotrope. Azeotropes are mixtures of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation. They are also called constant boiling mixtures.
